Murph, this post, with all due respect, is nonsense.... You're not "cutting" edge in the field of marine aquatics by throwing a fish into a tank and seeing if it will die. "Brave new territories" are being explored all of the time, but it's done properly... by people willing to do the work neccessary. Your Cleaner Wrasse eats frozen, that's great. How many Cleaners die because they don't? How is your Wrasse "evolving" our hobby?
I hope we're never at that place in our hobby..... not the way you all have described it. Not doing a water change doesn't prove anything. Not using RO water doesn't prove anything,. Success stories not using QT tanks doesn't prove anything. Keeping a Mandarin, Tang, Cleaner, etc. doesn't prove anything nor does it advance our hobby IN ANY WAY.
What you all are describing isn't evolution, it's just the opposite.
With all due respect I am going to say this as politely as possible
sorry for trying somthing out of the ordinary @$$ hole
just because some people have good luck at keeping unusual combinations doesnt mean you have to go ripping on them
oh and for the record, this thread wasn't meant to prove anything
so why don't you haul your cookie-cutter @$$ to some other forum
and take your bull $#!+ trash talk with you
ok that felt good...
